Slow-Cooker Irish Beef Stew

with carrots and potatoes

We've revised this hearty Irish stew to infuse it with more comforting and cozy flavor than the original version which was a hit back in 2015. This slow-cooker meal is sure to bring you luck and warmth this St. Patrick's Day and is great served alongside an Irish (or any!) beer.

Prep

Beef - Season with some salt and pepper and tenderize. Optional step: Toss meat with flour. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and then sear meat until browned on the outside. (Can be done up to 1 day ahead)

It tasted alright, but this recipe needs a rewrite. There was way wayyyy too much liquid and not enough crust. I was also confused whether it was meant to be crust on the top only or an actual pie. I ended up just putting the dough on top, but even then, my 1 package of 2 sheets of puff pastry dough did not cover it. I think it also needed a little more seasoning? It was a little plain, but edible.
